Скачать или смотреть Uncommon Valor Stories Behind Medal of Honor Recipients

This episode goes behind the citations to share the human stories of Medal of Honor recipients in more detail. Drawing on research, writing, and historical records, it brings to life the moments when individuals faced impossible odds and chose to act anyway—charging enemy positions, shielding comrades from grenades, holding the line when everyone else had fallen back. Each story shows how “uncommon valor” often came from people who looked very ordinary before the critical moment arrived.

We also explore what happens after the action ends: how these stories are written, remembered, and sometimes forgotten; how families and communities carry the legacy; and how books, newsletters, and ongoing projects aim to keep these names and deeds in front of new generations. It’s an invitation to see Medal of Honor recipients not as distant legends, but as real people whose choices still have the power to move us.
